GPE = mgh (for objects close to earth where g can be considered to be constant) Where m is the mass, g is the acceleration due to gravity (which the question has told us to assume is 10ms^-2), and h is the height of the object.

Substituting the values in:
GPE = 70*10*10 = 7000J

A physicist found that a force of 0.72N was measured between two charged sphere. The distance between the sphere was 0.90 m. Cal
aalyn [17]
What you can use is coulomb's inverse square law that states that force varies inversly as the square of distance.  <span>It menas that the force is calculated by dividing by distance squared. what this does is essentially as the distance doubles, the forces is reduced by a factor of 4 or can be divided by 4. Force at 0.5m=2.3328N. And brings you ti the answer</span>

Select the statement that best describes gravity.
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

Gravity is the force of attraction between two objects; it is dependent upon the mass of the objects and the distance between the objects.

Explanation:

Gravity is defined as the force of attraction between two objects. It depends on the masses of objects and the distance between them. The gravitational force between two bodies is given by the universal law of gravitation. According to this law, the force of gravity is :

F=G\dfrac{m_1m_2}{d^2}

Where

G is the universal gravitational constant

m₁ and m₂ are masses of two bodies

d is the distance between two bodies

Hence, the correct statement that describes gravity is (b)

the height of seven falls in colorado is 5/2 the height of twin falls in idahi. the sum of the two heights is 420 ft. find the h
Masja [62]
Let height of twin falls = x
height of seven falls = 2.5x

x + 2.5x = 420
3.5x = 420
x = 420/3.5 = 120

so twin falls = x = 120 ft
seven falls = 2.5x = 300 ft
